Thusara Guesthouse

Perfect location

Location , breakfast and the host

No wardrobe to hang clothes . At first night I did kill cockroach

I just had the most wonderful 4-day stay at Thesara Guesthouse in Mirissa! The owner, Rohana, was incredibly kind and helpful—always smiling and ready to assist with anything I needed. My room was spacious, with a very comfortable bed and an excellent shower—I slept so well every night. Plus, the location is unbeatable—just about a 30-second walk to the beach, right at the western end, where the surfboarding happens. Surrounded by plenty of restaurants and cafés, it was the perfect destination. I can’t wait to return!

It's super close to the beach, like you're there within a minute.

When we arrived we were offered a smoothie, which we agreed to after checking if he already has the ingredients in house since we didn't want to wait too long before heading out the beach. Turned out he didn't have them, even though he told us and he had to drive to the store to get them, while we were sitting and waiting there. We asked the owner about transportation to Polhena beach for snorkling and he arranged a tuk tuk for us after we agreed on a price. The driver stayed there for an hour with us and afterwards we asked if he could drop us off a bit further at Weligama beach. When we arrived we paid him more than the originally agreed price and asked if it's ok like that and he said yes. But then afterwards the owner of the stay tells us the driver called to say we need to pay more and the driver will come to get more money. In the afternoon, the driver, which turned out to be the owners brother, came knocking on our door at the stay to ask for more money. He then couldn't give us any exchange money so it would at the end get charged extra to us when we were leaving the stay. The whole situation felt a bit weird and in hindsight we probably should have arranged one of the organized tours to Polhena beach which we saw were being offered on Mirrissa beach, for cheaper money than we ended up paying while being able to stay longer at the beach.
